Flint

Vintage color photos of Flint, Michigan from the 1940s to the 1980s, documenting the city’s streets, neighborhoods, and everyday life during a period closely tied to the rise and evolution of the American automobile industry. Captured on color film, these images show Flint as a major industrial city shaped by manufacturing, post-war expansion, and urban change.

This collection includes views of downtown Flint, residential districts, factories, commercial streets, shops, cars, signage, and public spaces, reflecting daily life across several decades of economic growth and later transition. The photographs preserve details of the built environment and community life as they appeared before widespread redevelopment and the major changes of the late 20th century.

All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
